Rules eased, power connections to be issued without NOC in Punjab: Minister

Chandigarh: In a relief for consumers, Punjab power minister Sanjeev Arora on Tuesday announced that Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL) will now provide electricity connections without requiring a no-objection certificate (NOC), based solely on a mandatory undertaking from applicants.

In a statement, Arora said that earlier, applicants were required to submit approvals such as NOC, regularisation certificate or sanctioned building plan issued by local authorities before obtaining a power connection.
